The Ursuline College Rebuilding CampaignView construction progress live from Besse and Pilla.

Dear Ursuline Community,

As many of you know, Ursuline’s campus was affected by a tornado in the early morning of July 20. The College was incredibly blessed that there was neither loss of life or injury. The O’Brien Athletic Center was hit with the most severe damage, where the exterior wall of the gym collapsed. Additional damage occurred to the Dauby Science Center and the Besse Library with minor damage to an entrance in Pilla and the Mullen roof. A large number of mature trees were uprooted or destroyed and various other areas of campus were impacted.

I am grateful for the outpour of heartfelt messages, prayers and offers of support. Through your encouragement I feel the strength of the College community. I believe that together we will rebuild our campus to an even more vibrant state. Because of the confidence and support of each of you, Ursuline was able to get through this crisis with dignity and grace. Ursuline is a small community, but the College has a mighty heart and spirit that not even a tornado can dampen.

The Ursuline College Rebuilding Campaign has been set up to help in our rebuilding efforts. If you would like to contribute to the fund online please, click here. You can also mail a check to Ursuline College, 2550 Lander Road, Pepper Pike, OH 44124.
